The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left's Assault on Our Culture and Values
By Tammy Bruce
Prima, 352 pages, $25.95
Political skirmishes among adversaries are rough, but the roughest battles are normally reserved for former friends who've become skeptics. It's the heretic who is more likely than the heathen to get burned at the stake.
"I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease," commentator Julianne Malveaux once said of fellow black American Clarence Thomas. "He is an absolutely reprehensible person." Feminists deemed Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison a "female impersonator" when she first ran for the Senate. Tammy Bruce, author of The Death of Right and Wrong, is currently experiencing a bit of the same treatment for bucking groupthink.
A lesbian and former president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women, Bruce has turned a critical eye toward former allies. The result has been a form of ideological excommunication for Bruce, and two very popular books--The New Thought Police and The Death of Right and Wrong--for her readers.
Bruce's lesbianism grants her immunity to the slur words that normally disarm even mild critics of sexual anarchism. Her homosexuality has the paradoxical effect of allowing a refreshingly candid appraisal of many undesirable aspects of alternative lifestyles.
